About this course
This course is designed to teach your organization the hiring funnel of success. How to hire and retain the right staff to reduce overhead, create consistency of care and save money from high turnover rates. This course is currently offered as a Mentor Lead Course (online course coming soon).
No-shows, call-offs, and bad attitudes increase your stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights. Maybe you already have good staff and want to learn the strategies used by successful AFCs to keep them long-term. Fortunately, there is a proven roadmap you can use to increase your success in finding, hiring, and retaining staff. These talent strategies were developed during the time of owning and operating multiple award-winning Best Employer and Provider of the Year AFC homes.
Our simple hiring funnel of success adapted from earning the Great Place to Work Spotlight takes your hiring managers through the process of creating core values to draw the right candidates to your organization, identifying the ideal candidate to work at your organization, interviewing and onboarding processes, wage & labor considerations for live-in staff, employee file audit success strategies, and retention and communication skills. This course was inspired and based on the best selling book How to Hire the Best by Dr Sabrina Starling.
You don’t have to figure out how to hire and keep the right staff on your own. Let us help stop the bleeding of money associated with hiring and losing staff. Learn the processes to defy the odds of that maddening treadmill and instead, find and keep talented and loyal staff at your Adult Foster Care Organization.

Nadine Carlson
Co-Founder and Consultant for Care Provider Solutions.
Running an AFC home and providing care can be overwhelming. Hiring and retaining staff is one of the most stressful components. I will teach you the talent strategies developed as an owner of multiple AFC award-winning Best Employer and Provider of the Year homes. In addition, you will learn the principles awarded by the Great Place to Work Spotlight to help you succeed in hiring and keeping the best staff.
Many homes in the AFC industry are closing because of a lack of staff. I look forward to teaching your organization the insights and talent strategies to find and keep the best staff so you can focus on enriching and enhancing your life, your staff lives and the lives of the residents in your homes.
